Back to Meyer – in “Urban’s Way”, one of the duties he’s outlined for his assistants is “recruit every day”; one of the qualities he also looks for in a potential assistant is the ability to recruit as well as coach. Whoever is hired as the next DC needs to be able to be adept at this and not look at it as a “inconvenience”, for lack of a better word, like the last one we had who didn’t stick around for very long.

Funny thing, when I had a chance to briefly talk to Steve Addazio last season I complimented him on how well UF’s staff has done in recruiting. What a coincidence that he’d be honored for just that, but IMO it’s well deserved on his part.
